update on the dentist

appointment has been made for August 21 at 1 pm
I think I'll need to leave home at 11:30 and then I'll get to the dentist around 12:30. That'll give me enough time to make sure my teeth (and breath) are clean and find the office (it's been a while since I was there).

I'm not scared of the dentist...I just don't have the money
Aug. 14th, 2012 09:13 amIt's been 4 or 5 years since I was last at the dentist, so I'm in definite need of a cleaning (at the least) and I have 4 or 5 broken or missing back teeth (how I'm still able to eat is a mystery to me!)
So long as the dental work I need to have done doesn't top $5000, I'll be okay to pay using my credit card (and adjust my spending yet again to cover those monthly payments) since I don't have insurance.
I just don't want to deal with the disapproving looks from the dentist and the assistant.
eta since it's been so long, I couldn't remember the name of my dentist, but by some sort of awesomeness, we had the magnet for the dental office on the fridge, so I look them up to see if it's the same location, and it is! So I made an online appointment and should hear back from then between 1 and 3 today (I hope).
this is me anxious again...
